-drain fliud
-drop shaft
-jack up
-take tires off
-drums
-unbolt axles and pull out a few inches
-unblot 3rd and drop


to install is the same as taking out...is this right? or am i missing a few things do i need to shim anything when i put it back together or no?


thanks guys for all your help!!!

 

thats pretty much it

 

thanks thats what i though but was'nt sure thanks alot man will be posting losts of pictures by the way

 

you'll usually have to undo your hard brake lines from the drum, as well as the e-brake cable. its a minor issue, but i thought i'd through it in. just dont forget to bleed them after.

also a good time to do wheel bearings.......wink wink

 

Well #1, make sure the fill plug isn't frozen before you start; if you can't fill it back up there's no reason to drain it.

#2 you don't have to remove the drums to pull the axles out enough to clear the third, you will have to un-hook the E-brake cable from the clips on the frame & that's all, you don't even have to undo them from the axle assembly

 

^X2.... this job can be done in under an hour....its quite simple! Goodluck!!
